2017 marks the 40th anniversary of Star Wars’ initial release and to celebrate Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo unveiled their exciting new Star Wars x Uniqlo Artist collection by holding a special evening on May 4th 2017 with James Jarvis – one of the designers of Star Wars™ Artist series.
Uniqlo hosted the event at their flagship 311 Oxford Street store on the premium Lifewear floor. The evening was filled with Star Wars™ themed activities, refreshments and even a competition to win a life size Death Trooper statue. Designer artist James Jarvis was invited to talk about his Star Wars™ pieces and visitors had the opportunity to grab a picture in front of one of his comical designs.
